GEO. W. HABERLY, Esq., returned yesterday from a successful trip in the interest of the Nail Works, which are now doing a splendid business.

C. R. PEDM,E, ESQ., Superintendent of the T. H. & I. R. R., is in attendance at the Railroad Convention held in Louisville to arrange the winter time table.

THE Railroad election in Parke county occurs one week from to-morrow. It is thought that the friends «f progress will be "too many" for 'the old fogies this time.

BAYARD TAYLOR, the distinguished author, poet and traveller, lectures at Dowling Hall to-morrow evening, on "Life in Europe and America." Pee announcement.

TRAVEL ON TIIE T. H. & I. R. R.—For the month ending October 31st this Company have transported passengers as follows: Going East, 10,130 coming West, 13,223. Total, 23,353.

L. F. PERDUE, ESQ., the gentlemanly operator who has been connected with our telegraph office in this city, has gone to accept a much better position in the Louisville Telegraph office. We regret to pxrt with him, but what is our loss is his gain.

IF.—If you want anything if you have anything you want to get rid of if you have lost or found anything want to do anything or want anything done for you, advertise in the 25 cent column of the EXPRESS.

It is the best advertisement

vou can have for the least money.

WE LEARN that the City Council will at its next meeting, repeal the resolution requiring the Danville Railroad Company to lay down a separate track from this city to Otter Creek thus allowing the company if it so desires, to run up on the Rockville extension. It would take about all the $100,000 subscribed by the city to build this track. One of the Councilmen who is opposed to the appropriation, will vote for this, for, as says he, as the company is going to have the money, it should be in such a way as will do some good.

CRIMINAL COURT.—Erney received his Huntence yesterday morning and was committed to jail where he is to ser ,*e thirty days.

His second trial, for the shooting of Mr. Brown, was set for the 25th inst. He made affidavit for a change of Judge.

The trial of Dr. Whittaker was "indefi. nitely postponed." John Stevens was arraigned and plead not guilty. Ilis trial was set for the 16th inst.

MR. J. EDWARD SAXTON, well known for a number of years past in the dry goods trade in this city has effected a change of base, having taken up permanent quarters in the clothing and furnishing goods establishment lately vned by Grover & Miller. Mr. Saxton proposes to give particular attention to gent's furnishing goods, of which the house has a splendid stock on hand, having made recent heavy purchases. The many friends of Mr. S. will be glad to see him again established in a good and pleasant business, and will be sure to give him a call when they want articles in his line.

JUDGE BEADLE, of Rockville was in the city yesterday, using the telegraph in an effort to obtain further tidings of the injury to his son, J. H. Beadle, at Corrinne, Utah, who, as reported in our dispatch of Wednesday, was set upon by Mormons and beaten nearly to death for writing articles against polygamy, and publishing the same in the Reporier, of which he is editor.

Since the above was in type Judge Beadle has received a dispatch from his son, dated at Corrinne, saying: ."Able to be up don't come." This will be gratifying intelligence to young Beadles many friends in this city and in Parke county.—

RUNAWAY.—As Mr. Ben. West was driving his span of bays on East Main street yesterday afternoon the kingbolt broke and let the tongue of his wagon fall on the heels of his horses, which started them off at a breakneck speed.— Mr. West holding to the reins was drawn over the dash on the ground, when he was forced to let go. The horses dashed on toward the T. H. &I. depot where they collided with a wagon loaded with sawdust, utterly demolishing it. A small boy son of Mr. Probst, was seated on the latter wagon and went under with the load and the two horses but miraculously escaped serious injury, only receiving a cut on the head and face. As both horses fell over the wagon 'ami its load, it was supiKised the boy was killed, but he was dugout in condition above named. Picking themselves up from the wreck they tore up through the yard of the T. & I. R. R. and finally brought up between a couple of coal cars, which they failed to use up as they did Mr. Probst's wagon, which may bring something for kindling wood, but not much for wagon.

IUW ywniw wi UITWW

Beqjamin C. Sanford, a very wealthy young itoarried man of that city. She alleges she was married to Sanford at Terre Haute, July 1st, 1865 that she did not know at the time he was a married man that three children were born of the anion, and one still lives. She asks the custody of this child, and $5,000 per year alimony. Mr. Sanford is nephew of Pierre Chouteau, Jr., deceased, is possessed of a large amount of property, and married to a daughter of one of the first families of St. Louis. His friends assert that it is a made up case 4o extort money, and will be so proved while others believe the statement of the woman to he true, and that his wife will seek a divorce from him.

This Sanford is the man who, it will be remembered, late one Saturday afternoon a few weeks since,was tried for bigamy, in our Criminal Court, before a jury, Judge Crain presiding, and acquitted. It wajs strongly suspected at the time, from certain mancevres, that the indictment was procured merely for the purpose of obtaining an acquittal and using the record elsewhere.

THE ST. L., V. & T. H. R. R. BRIDGE OVER THE WABASH.—In our search for items a few days since we chanced upon the locality of the new Railroad bridge over the Wabash and were surprised at the headway being made with it. It will consist of four spans of 160 feet each—664 feet width of draw 160 feet. Total length of bridge 830 feet. Some sixty feet of the west span frill Be over what is, for threefourths of the year, dry land, the river only reaching it during the freshets, thus relieving the abutment from so great a pressure as caused by a narrow channel. The superstructure is to be of wrought iron of the "Linville& Piper patent," and to be constructed by the famous "Keystone Bridge Company" of Pittsburg, under the personal supervision of their Chief Engineer, Walter Katte, Esq., which Company guarantee its being one of the safest and most durable bridges in the countryThe masonry is in charge of A. D. Cook, Esq., builder of the masonry to the magnificent Steubenville, Ohio, bridge, the longest Railroad bridge in the United States. The pile driving is completed and all the pier foundations are above water. The eastern abutment and one of the piers are completed. The western abutment and remaining piers are expected to be completed by the first proximo, and the whole bridge ready for service by the first of February, at the farthest. In the different branches of its construction there is daily employed a force of over two hundred men.

It is the intention of its builders, the T. H. & I. R. R. Co., to have a bridge whose, main points will be safety and durability, beyond a doubt, and in keeping with the well-known substantialness of their entire line.

Letter'front a U. S. Court Juryman.

Being summoned to appear at Indianapolis the 1st Tuesday in November, to serve as Petit juror in the U. S. Court, I obeyed the summons and reported myself to the Marshal on the day. The court occupied most of the day in calling the docket and hearing motions. A few individuals walked up to theClerk's desk,and paid their fine of $10 and a much larger amount in costs, for failing to pay their license at the proper time and place. With a debt of two and a half billions to pay and interest, this county has no place for delinquents. Other case3 of more importance are to come before the court.— The Grand Jury for this court number twenty-three, drawn from the several districts of the State, and are paid $2 00 per day, and mileage five cents coming and going. I saw them rise to receive the charge, and was struck with the good com-mon-sensc appearance and intelligence of the entire body. The charge of Judge Gresham, was short,but plain and impressive. Ills charge that they were to be industrious in attending to the duties assigned them, did not sti ike me as being well observed, when I learned this morning that they did not meet for business until 10 a. m. Although this jury numbers twenty-three—twelve voting for an indictment secures that objec\ The number summoned for Petit jury is twenty-four and from the several districts of the State, as in the case of the Grand Jury. Their pay is the same. Only twelve serve at a time. If these twojurics are held here four to six weeks, which is likely to be the case, makes it, with all oilier expenses, a very expensive court. I see no reason why there should be more than twelve Grand Jurymen, or that they should be gathered from so distant parts of the State. It seems to me that Marion county could furnish them as well.

I had abundance of leisure yesterday and will have most probably to-day, to make observations and walk about this fast growing city. In taking a short stroll, my mind is carried back to its early history and to some*of my first visits here, stopping at the well known Stage House of Browning. It was in the spring of 1845 or 1846 that I arrived in Columbus by cars and took dinner there, preparatory to a mud wagon ride of forty miles to Indianapolis. There were several passengers, and we made Franklin by dark. It was a dark, rainy afternoon, and there we staid all night. Starting as soon as breakfast was over, we traveled diligently all day, sometimes on foot from bog to bog and sometimes managed by holding fast to stay inside the wagon, and arrived at Browning's in time for supper. Then it took two whole days to reach my home in Terre Haute, arriving there at 9 o'clock Saturday evening on a fine black horse, which I rode from the widow Cunningham's, the wagon being unable to get any further for want of horses. Then Indiana, polis was a small village, shunned by all travelers to the Wabash Valley at certain seasons of the year, even if it took a week by boat from Cincinnati via Wabash river.

What a change has one-quarter century wrought for this Capital city and the State.

Physically and materially the progress has been great. Morally and religiously it is doubtful whether the standard is any higher, or their forces in proportion to the other advances. It is to be feared that intemperance and crime of every nature, are fast gaining on other growths.— I fear very much, that the State Temperance Alliance will fail to arrest the evils of drinking at tippling houses, unless some other tactics are made use of. I desire to sav a few words about that meeting at Dowling Hall, but must defer them at this time. There were some remarks made there of an intemperate nature, that I could not approve of. One word more about the growth and progress of Indianapolis, and I close this hasty effusion. In hotels this Capital City has made no progress. When for a good room, a good bed and a good meal, the traveler or sojourner, is obliged to seek for them at a private boarding house, it does not sjii-nk well for the hotels of the city.— The depot, as I hear on all sides, is about the only place where a good meal, and a good room can be had without going to some private boarding place. The old Browning House, I am sure was far ahead in some respects, to some of the first-class hotels of the present day in this city.— Another quarter of a century, and Indianapolis will number one hundred Ihou-

boilding, a decent Court House, and jail, that is not a disgrace to the idvanc-, ing civilization. "*5 P.

New Medical Firm—Dr. Geo. W. Patrick, one of our oldest and best known physicians, has formed a co-partnership with Dr. J. H. Peyton, who has recently recently removed to this city fromPaducah, Ky., and the firm has opened an office in the basement of the Beach Block, on 6th street, just north ofthe Post office. Of Dr. Patrick we need not speak. He is one of our oldest and most successful practitioners. Dr. Peyton I comes very highly recommended by prominent citizens of Paducah as a learned and skilful physician, and an estimable gentleman. We call the attention of our many readers to this firm and bespeak for tnem a generous patronage.

Home of Columbus.—Western Insurance Companies have generally proved to be failures. It is a well known fact that policies in Western Companies have been equivalent to no insurance at all.— The trouble has been, and still is, in many of the States, the insurance laws render no protection to policy-holders. Hence, Western Companies are discriminated against, fin favor of Eastern ones, and millions of dollars are yearly sent East, which ought to be employed in the West.

In Ohio the Legislature, last winter, adopted the Insurauce of Laws of New York, making her, now, in that respect, one of the foremost State in the Union.— Since the adoption of these laws, the Home Insurance Company, of Columbus, has been reorganized, making it now one of the foremost in the country.

They have increased their capital during the past autumn from $100,000 to $900,000, and by January 1st, 1870, the capital of the Company will be $1,000,000.

Parties who desire safe and reliable insurance can not do better than to insure in the Home. The list of stockholders comprise some of the best business men in Ohio, with Hon. Sam. Galloway at the head as President. They expect a liberal patronage in Terre Haute. .. W. W. RUSISEY, Agent.
